The Migration of Young Adults from Non‐Metropolitan Counties
研究年轻人从非都市县迁往其他非都市县或都市区的行为，发现预期初始收入增长是主要驱动力，迁移成本与父亲教育及本地亲属网络相关。
Abstract This article examines young adult migration from non‐metropolitan counties to either different non‐metropolitan counties or to metropolitan areas. The results show that expected gains in initial earnings provide young entrants to the labor force with a marked incentive to migrate from their non‐metropolitan counties of origin. Initial earnings gains stem, in part, from higher returns to schooling in both metropolitan areas and other non‐metropolitan counties. The propensity to migrate is also sensitive to the costs of migration, which, in turn, are correlated with paternal education and the local presence of extended family.
